I remember a DIY store near the Adam and Eve on the Uxbridge Road. It was called Nailards or something similar.

Yes, but I think they didn't open until mid/late 70s.

There was a lovely hardware shop in Yiewsley High Street and I can't remember what it was called. You would go inside it and it seemed to go back for ever - it was really long.

Can anybody remember the name of it? (it's bugging me now)

The shop in question was called S&S Hardware in Pump Lane, at the top next to the corrugated iron Labour Hall. I think mention of it is in Ronnie Barker's autobiography.

Yes it was. Brilliant hardware shop. They had everything and were so helpful.

The TV producer says he doesn't name the shop in his book. Barry Raymond has emailed to say he thinks it was Goodrich. Also, the Gazette have emailed to say they'd like to do a story on this.
